This Portland home began as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath property with a finished attic and unfinished basement. Through a full-scale renovation and expansion, it was transformed into a 5-bedroom, 3-bath home with two kitchens—significantly increasing both functionality and livable space.
Attic Conversion — New Primary Suite
The attic was redesigned into a dedicated primary suite, featuring an engineered walk-in closet, a full bathroom with built-in storage, and a skylight to bring in natural light. A custom railing system was installed around the stair opening for both safety and architectural detail.
Main Level Remodel & Restoration
The main level underwent a complete kitchen and bathroom gut and rebuild. The remaining living spaces were carefully restored to maintain the home’s original character, including the installation of a new front door with glass to enhance natural light and curb appeal.
Basement Build-Out
The previously unfinished basement was fully converted into functional living space, now including two additional bedrooms, a family room with kitchenette, a full bathroom, and a finished laundry/mechanical room.
Exterior Renovation & Site Improvements
The exterior was comprehensively upgraded with all new windows, a new roof, gutters, and drainage improvements—including dry wells directing water approximately 12 feet away from the foundation.
The existing garage was demolished and rebuilt on the same footprint with increased height and the addition of a covered patio. Outdoor living was further enhanced with a newly designed yard, including a private deck behind the garage and a custom concrete feature at the front of the home.
A new front porch with a railing system was installed, and the original siding and window trim were restored wherever possible, with only damaged materials replaced. The result is a cohesive exterior that respects the home’s original character while delivering modern performance and usability.
